🇻🇦🇷🇺 One Phone Call – Two Versions of Events

Pope Leo XIV held a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin. According to the Vatican’s statement, the pontiff expressed his deep concern about the severe humanitarian situation in Alioshki in the Kherson region. He called for a ceasefire, for the delivery of food and medicines to be ensured, and for the voluntary and safe evacuation of the civilian population.

The Kremlin’s statement emphasizes different points. Vladimir Putin explained to the Pope the responsibility of the Kyiv authorities for the humanitarian situation in Alioshki. In addition, the Russian president supported the Vatican’s intention to help ensure the safety of the population and organize vital supplies.

One conversation, two official statements. The Vatican directs attention to the humanitarian catastrophe and the need to help the civilian population. The Kremlin, by contrast, points to those it considers responsible for its emergence. Both statements address one and the same problem, yet only one of them presents the causes of what happened.
